GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — As buses filled with Seattle Seahawks players and coaches arrived bright and early at Lambeau Field Thursday morning, dozens of children had their bicycles ready to ride to the nearby practice fields.
The joint practice between the Packers and Seahawks provided the opportunity for visiting players to experience the decades-long training camp tradition of riding bicycles to practice.
“Right away I had to get off work so I could be here,” said Brittany Dequaine, who lives in Abrams, but grew up in Washington as a Seahawks fan.
“My dad is a Packers fan and my mom is a Seahawks fan, so I’m confused so I just like the Seahawks because they have Beast Mode,” said Dequaine’s son, Franklin.
Plenty of prideful purebred Packers fans also partnered with a Seahawks player to show what Titletown is all about.
“I just kind of waved to him,” said Lucas McGregor, an 8-year-old Packers fan from Hobart, while explaining how he was able to convince a Seahawks player to ride his bike. “Acted grateful that he rode my bike.”
“I think it was kind of a special event to have the other team in town,” said Evan McGregor, Lucas’ father. “More opportunity for kids to ride a bike.”
The Seahawks are the sixth team in recent years to participate in a joint practice in Green Bay. The Ravens, Texans, Jets, Saints, and Patriots were the others.
